Instructions: Show all work in your bluebook. Cell phones, laptops, calculators that do linear algebra or calculus, and other such devices are not
allowed.
1. (10 pts.) Determine whether or not S = {f ∈ C[2, 5] | f (2) = f (5)}
is a subspace of C[2, 5].
2. (5 pts.) For the subsets of P3 below, which cannot be linearly independent? Which cannot span? Briefly explain how you are getting
your answers.
(a) {1 − 2x, x2 , x + x3 }
(b) {x2 , x3 , 1 − 3x + 10x2 − 5x3 }
(c) {1, x2 − 2, x2 − 6}
(d) {x − 3x2 , x3 , x2 − 3x + 2, x − 1, 5x2 − 7}
(e) {1, x, x3 , x − x2 , 3x − 1, 2x3 }.
3. (10 pts.) Let B = {1, ex , e2x }. Show that B is LI and find the
coordinates of f (x) = (1 − 3ex )2 .
4. (15 pts.) Find bases for the column space, null space, and row space
of C, and state the rank and nullity of C. What should these sum to?
Do they?
